Enthusiasm:
Expressions of elation –
Show your excitement!!
Like this flower child,
I’m over the top gleeful.
Timing perfection!
I’ve shared confusion
And dismay for the slowness
Of resolutions.
But if I let go –
And put it all in God’s hands,
His timing’s perfect!
I can’t tell you more
Than to say I see the light
At the tunnel’s end.
Yesterday I worked
All day to finalize the
Membership notice
Our Number One pick
Has accepted our first call –
Returning to preach.
The congregation
Will hear her message.
It’s all in God’s hands.
The Lord says, “Relax!
Know I have got you covered.
It’ll be alright.”
Embrace excitement!
Continue to be in prayer.
Let God surprise you.
You know I have been knee-deep
in the process of trying to find the pastor candidate
God has in mind for our Presbyterian Church
here in Ennis, MT.
It’s been nearly a year of searching.
By the end of this month,
I should be able to show you her face…
and tell you about her.
Meantime, she will return in a couple of weeks
and preach to our congregation
and they will be given the chance to vote.
If they approve,
then the Presbytery gets to vote.
The Lord says, “Paaay-shuns!!”
It will all happen in His perfect timing.
I believe that.
But, I can’t contain my excitement
at the prospects of what the future holds!
happens as God intends-
In His perfect timing.
Jeremiah 29:11
“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD,
“plans to prosper you and not to harm you,
plans to give you hope and a future.”
Esther 4:14
Perhaps you were born for such a time as this.
Wait expectantly!
Open your eyes to the
fulfillment of your deepest prayers!
Embrace Enthusiasm!
Are you excited about something in your future?
What is it?
